Measurement of Longitudinal and Lateral Strain at Quasistatic
Tensile Tests on Aluminum Foams and CRP-Specimens

A Laser Extensometer of the type K-100
is used for measurement of locally
resolved longitudinal and lateral strain at quasistatic tensile tests on
aluminum foams and CRP-specimens.
The marking of the aluminum foam specimens is possible by using a double-sided tape
to close the open pores of the foam. After preparing the specimen the marking
is done by using sticky tape markers or spraying marking powder.
